The Routes

The route is composed of a 51km loop linking the towns of San Cassiano, La Villa, Corvara and Arabba via three fantastic mountain passes. Riding anticlockwise the first climb on the route is the Passo Campolongo with its series of 13 fantastic switchbacks set in the first two kilometres. After the fast descent through Arabba you continue to lose altitude until you hit the valley floor before embarking on the toughest climb of the route, the Passo Falzarego. Never too steep but quite long at close to 12 kilometres it is a wonderful journey through hairpins and tunnels to the cafés at the summit. To complete the 1370 metres of climbing you must now reach the top of the Passo Valparola which in places is as steep as 15% before rocketing down the exhilarating descent to La Villa and finish on the gradual climb to close the loop back in Corvara.
